Old V vs. New V

I’m aging myself here, but I remember when the original V miniseries aired back in 1983. I was about 13 years old at the time. V was a huge deal for us young teens – everyone seemed to be talking about it.
Some 25 years later, I still remember the main characters from V: The [...]

Stargate Universe Turning Into Horrible Space Opera

Sorry, Stargate Universe, you are losing me.
I initially gave SGU a good review. The first episode was very promising.
Seven episodes later, the show is failing to live up to its initial promise.
We’re treated to the “Big Problem of the Week” instead of the “Big Adventure of the Week.” More and more, the focus of the [...]

Stargate Universe a Welcome Evolution of the Brand

Some are calling Stargate Universe a cross between the latest Battlestar Galactica and Lost. While I don’t see how this new Stargate series relates much to Lost, I do see some BSG influences in the grittier, darker SGU.
I was never drawn in to watch Stargate: SG1 on a regular basis. It was one of those [...]

Voltron on Hulu

OK, you know you’re getting old when cartoons you used to watch as a teen are now considered “retro cartoons.” Damn! Am I really middle aged already? I don’t feel it…and hopefully don’t look it! But we can still be thankful to Hulu for releasing Voltron for streaming on its site. Now, I’m not a [...]

Warehouse 13 Steampunk TV

It took my mother (my own mother!) to get me to give Warehouse 13 a try (I’d pretty much given up on cheesily renamed SyFy). But Mom can be surprising – she liked the new Star Trek, and she loves Warehouse 13. This is after having absolutely no interest in science fiction her entire life. [...]

Lost: Fade to White

Hopefully Lost won’t end in the same semi-lame-o way BSG did – but so far, so good, this season’s cliffhanger was a doozy. (SPOILER ALERT! Don’t read anything else if you haven’t seen the latest episide!)
A couple of random thoughts: First off, I don’t get why people are questioning whether Juliet set off the bomb [...]

Angels and Demons: The Battlestar Galactica Finale

Well, at least that’s one serialized show I can check off my “to watch” list. Battlestar Galactica is done. Was it worth it? Was the finale all it was cracked up to be?
I’ve read some of the responses online and it seems there are quite a few pissed of BSG fans out there, notably for [...]

Lost Connections

I was reading this excellent round-up of Wednesday night’s Lost episode, and then I realized I actually know this guy! He’s someone I used to comedy improv with!
I can’t really improve upon that article much, but I will add my own brief two cents: I think the big statue (and old temple) that have been [...]

Lost Season 5: Already Under My Skin

If the first episode of Season 5 of Lost bored you, then you are either not a fan or just a TV critic watching it because you have been forced to. As Lost’s creators explained in the pre-show, we are now finally at the point in Lost where more questions will be answered than asked, [...]

Battlestar Galactica: Thoughts on the Last Episodes

It took me a while to get into the new Battlestar Galactica. I did no t initially like the dark flavor of the show, and some of the obvious Americanisms have bugged me and kept me from fully getting into the BSG universe. It wasn’t until last season that I found myself getting “hooked” on [...]
